#108832, "RE: Wrong main bearings in Crank Kit" In response to In response to 2
Originally posted by Slo2g I have clevite mains in my car and its got a 95 block in it. I bought the bearings from howell though because they offered the "kit" that the 95 needs. Instead of having to buy two sets of bearings. When I plastigauged it out it fit the clearances and I have about 15k on the engine now with no problems. As far as ACL, I have the ACL rod bearings and I don't have a problem with them at all either. Everything measured out.
look at his pics. the bearings physically won't go into the block. they're notched on the wrong side. he doesn't need the early 95 set, he needs a 97 set but the crank bearing kit he got was notched like the early 95's. IIRC the neon blocks never changed the notching and I'd bet that NAPA crosses their part#'s with a neon.
like I said, check if the set for a 97 Avenger 2.0 is a different part #. that's probably what you'll need
or check Parts dinosaur (about 1/4 down that page) I know those are the right bearings.
